Composing


I don't think I am a composer yet
Although I have learned all about the foundation of music
it's not learning the rules that allows one to compose
it's the free flow of rhythms
and progressions
not just the ones heard by the ear
but the ones in the mind
tossing
in mayhem sometimes
but still perfectly clear in essence;
I try to make it work
but I still have to hear the notes
out loud
to make a phrase
but I am trying to learn
No really, I just finished writing a song. I have yet to name it, and write it out good, and add the chord progressions. I am kind of proud of it... although it;s only 18 measures long haha. It's much better than my first attempt to write music....or my second or third. My knowledge of music theory really helped me though; there is no way I could have written it before taking that class, because that's just how I am. Not talented like Jaron, who can just sit down and spit it out freely haha. I apologize to him for always telling him to write out his pieces. NEVER DO IT. It sucks to do. It makes my brain hurt; I would have written a better post than this, but I'm already shot from writing, so yeah haha.
